Charleston shootings: Dylann Roof photos found online – BBC News

Images have surfaced online that appear to show the gunman that killed nine people at an African-American church in South Carolina posing with a gun. The collection of photographs discovered on a website also show 21-year-old Dylann Roof burning the US flag and visiting a slave plantation. In one image he is shown staring down the camera while sitting on a chair in camouflage trousers holding a gun. It is unclear who posted the images on the site, which was found on Saturday. The website was taken offline on Saturday shortly after it was discovered. Internet records suggest its domain was registered in February but it is unclear who was behind it. Data from the images show many of them were taken in April and May this year.
